Medicare Reduces Payments' 30 Cents
Monthly social security checks
for beneficiaries 65 and over, who
have signed up for Medicare's
doctor bill insurance, will be re-
duced by 30 cents in July, Samuel
F. Test of Detroit-Northwest social
security office, 17500 Lahser Rd.,
said.
The checks scheduled for de-
livery on July 3 will have $5.60
deducted for each beneficiary to
pay the increased voluntary medic-
al insurance premium. The rate for
the past year was $5.30 for each
beneficiary, Test said.
The increase was announced by
the Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare in December, in
accordance with a requirement in
the Medicare Law that makes an
annual review of the costs of the
medical insurance program man-
datory. The law requires that the
monthly -premium rate be set at a
point estimated to be sufficient to
cover all expenses incurred during
each premium period, with an al-
lowance for contingencies.
The 30 per cent premium in-
crease for each beneficiary is the
set result of three items that are
estimated to increase costs by 50
cents in the fiscal year beginning
July 1, and then a decrease of 20
cents arising primarily because of
a reduced margin for conting-
encies.
The items that make up the
overall 50 cent increase include:
31 cents to cover an estimated in-
crease of 6.7 per cent in the level
of physicians' fees recognized by
the program in the fiscal year be-
ginning in July: 10 cents to cover
an estimated increase of 2 per cent
in the use of physicians' services;
nine cents to cover the estimated
increase of 15 per cent in cost and
utilization of institutional services
covered by the program (for ex-
ample, for hospital outpatient and
independent clinic services).
The true art of memory is the
art of attention.—Samuel Johnson.
